Attempting a pork roast

Ok, Mommy usually doesn't attempt roasts, because the cost is too much for just the two of us. However with the really good deal at Cub this week (1opounds of pork for $10) Mommy couldn't pass it up. It was a really good deal, we were able to freeze 6 bags of different pork items and the roast is in the crockpot all for $10. So, Mommy being an addict of Food Network, she has watched them prepare roasts all the time so she did hers without a recipe. She did remember to spray the crockpot with non stick spray this time. She cut up potatoes, onions, and carrots. Seasoned the pork roast and seared all the sides in a fry pan. She threw all of that in the crockpot with some seasonings. Mommy plans to make some couscous when Daddy gets home from work to go with it, she is also going to try to make a gravy with the drippings (wish her a lot of luck with that)!! The only thing she is missing is some nice crusty rolls. Mommy has been searching for a recipe to make nice crusty homemade rolls, if anyone has one please share. Mommy will let you know how it went, the real test will be if Daddy eats a lot of it.
The girls are doing well today. They ran high fevers last night from their shots but today they are only low grade temps. Gotta go, Amelia is screaming!!
